Cryptid

The cryptid plugin allows you to use crypted id to identify object identities in your routes.

Installation

To install, simply run the following command from your project.

script/plugin install git://github.com/Frodotus/cryptid.git

Then in your ActiveRecord model classes simply add the include statement.

Usage

class Foo < ActiveRecord::Base

      encrypt_id

end

As a result of this statement, assuming your Foo object has an id of 144, your resourceful routes change from this:

http://server.com/foos/114

to:

http://server.com/foos/9873498273400000144

By using ids with checksum web user can not view other resources by just adding ids.
